Episode Details

Rose Ann Forte was a successful C-Suite executive and leader in the church, a working mom of four, and a social drinker. Over the years, life's stresses and a difficult marriage created an environment where her alcohol usage increased significantly. After the collapse of her marriage, her drinking further escalated and she felt like a fraud. She was diagnosed with major depressive disorder and asked God to take her off this earth.

AA was not an option in her mind. She had already submitted to God and didn't want to call herself an alcoholic. When COVID-19 hit, she enrolled in a coaching program to put alcohol to the side for three months. Her experience was extremely transformational, and she recognized God's instruction embedded in the entire process. She became free of the psychological slavery of this habit through this process. She identified what alcohol had stolen from her life and understood that God had a better plan for her.

Rose Ann felt called to document what she learned with a daily devotional so others could experience God's promises through scriptural instruction with hope and a better plan for the future. Rose Ann is an Alcohol-Free Coach, a Positive Intelligence Coach, and an international-selling author of a book called The Plans He Has For Me, A 12-week Daily Devotional for Freedom.

Rose Ann recently developed the Choose Freedom Course that teaches the 12 most important biblically based and scientifically proven methods for renewing your mind as it relates to alcohol or other toxic substances.

During her interview, she explains the difference between this approach and the 12-step approach that is predominantly used today.
